Saturday, January 31, 1998Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O Lord, teach me Your Word! Break open for me, O Lord, the meaning, the connective tissue of Your Word today. O Lord, school was not my favourite place, yet to YOU, O Lord, I rush to learn! O Holy, Gentle Teacher, I come to learn Your Ways. Feed me, O Lord, Your Holy Word. I am sitting here with interest. What will Your Lesson be, O Lord, that I might better Live in You? Amen!!
[Jesus speaks.....]
Broken Faith; broken Promise; limited Vision; In Me, from you to Me. When so much has been given! This is the Lesson of My Word today. For David had, but he lost sight of Me. And My Apostles had, but they lost sight of Me, even though I was there in their midst. And what is the anchor, pulling all down? SIN! For an anchor may be necessary to hold a craft at bay. But for your heart, O children, it must be free to sail on My Sea of Faith. Can you not see that?My David has sinned! My sweet anointed has sinned! He has worn the yoke of sexual prowess. He has become chained to the lure of the enemy! His eyes have strayed from My Course! He has become fixated on the moment! The moment of desire. To fulfill a personal need, for the forsaking of Me! I have given him My Word! My anointing! I have called him Mine. That he should serve Me! And My Justice is coupled with My Mercy! But a cleansing must be made! The sin must be paid for! Though My Mercy welcomes sinners! Justice is Mine! For this is a most grievous offense. Did you think you could enter My Palace in such a sullied state? That you can enter at all is by the Sacrifice I have made. That you come to Me at all is by My Mercy! That purification is possible on your part, is My Justice. For I prepare you as a lamb for the feast! I Desire that you be spotless! O lamb: I whisper in your ear! Do you hear Me in your heart? I pray that you do. Know this, O one to whom I speak: I am here while all you do transpires in the secrecy of your heart! What you have done; what it is you do: I am aware. That you think you hide from Me, is yet another charade of the enemy! O! How fogged men's mind can become! O pride! You are the froth on this sea of emotion which has caused My child to drift into harm's way! Be still! Be gone! [It is as though Jesus' Hands are extended over the sea, into the distance where I can see the horizon.]
And so, here am I in your Presence. Do you take the time to notice Me? To learn from Me? Or do you exclude Me? Am I not the same Lord, here in a storm, as I am on the distant shore? Is there not Peace and Security in Me here in the storm, as well as there where all is safe and secure? Come, child. Rest in the Bosom of My Father. Know that all things are His. There is no storm greater than His Strength. All shall be put to rest. Come, and learn from My Strength. My sleep. My comfort in Him Who is My Father. Who is yours by My Sacrifice.
Where are we, then, in life? Where are YOU, then, in Me? Are you with Me, save the moments you reserve for yourself? Then, you are not yet in Me! For to be in Me is to leave outside, even, your arms. That if you should fall overboard, you will rest in Me. Without your arms to swim. But to be saved by being in Me. To relinquish your feet. Lest you tread water aside of Me. Do you see what I ask of you? The world will criticize this, children. And if part of you resists the sanity in My Word, then you have just discovered the part of you that is not in Me. For I long for you completely.
The plottings of men will be exposed. The grumblings of men will be heard out loud. The sin in secret must be brought into the Light. Why? That you would be healed! How? By Faith! Utter Faith in Me!
Daughter! I have taught you, no? (Yes! My Lord! Yes! My Jesus! I SEE where once I had been blind!.....O JESUS! You have healed me? This was a blindness! Even this! [understanding His Words to me] O JESUS! Suddenly.....I understand a bit more of HEALING in You! I have not asked for this Lesson, yet You have taught me and Graced me with Understanding! YES, Jesus! There is much blindness within me! THANK YOU, LORD! O Great Teacher! And I had not asked, but even You have woven in the words of St. Margaret Mary! O, JESUS! How Great Thou Art! O JESUS! Praise be to God! Alleluia! God be praised! O! The Lightness of Truthful Teaching! O! The Peace which flies within me for clear vision in You! O JESUS! Can anyone even understand my elation in You? I pray so, my Lord. That we would all be more and more, one in You. Amen.)
I teach My Lesson. Repeat it, children who would learn, if you did not grasp it the first time. For I come for this Purpose: to teach. That you would learn. To be. In Me. Amen. +

"If you find within yourself an abyss of pride and vain esteem, bury these passions in the abyss of the Humility of the Sacred Heart, Where you must lose all that stirs you interiorly, so as to be arrayed in His Sacred Annihilations." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for January 31.]
